Abstract

A front structure of a vehicle body includes a first bumper reinforcement extending in a lateral direction of the vehicle body. A second bumper reinforcement extends in the lateral direction of the vehicle body below the first bumper reinforcement. Two first crash boxes are coupled to the two ends of the first bumper reinforcement. Two second crash boxes are coupled to the two ends of the second bumper reinforcement. Two vertical posts are coupled to the rear ends of the first and second crash boxes. Two side frames are coupled to the two vertical posts opposite to the first crash boxes. Two lower members are coupled to the two vertical posts opposite to the second crash boxes. A lower support member couples the second crash boxes to each other and forms a lower portion of a radiator support.
